The consolidated financial statements and the information and tables contained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, these interim financial statements include all adjustments necessary to fairly present the results of the interim periods presented. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.
NOTE 2 − SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Investment Securities Available-for-Sale
The Company classifies its investment portfolio as either trading investments, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. Although the Company generally plans to hold most of its investments to maturity, it may, from time to time, sell any of its investments due to changes in market conditions or in accordance with its investment strategy. Accordingly, the Company classifies all of its investment securities as available-for-sale and reports them at fair value, which is based on taking a weighted average of the following three measures:
i.
an income approach utilizing an appropriate current risk-adjusted yield, time value and projected estimated losses from default assumptions based on analysis of underlying loan performance;
ii.
quotes on similar-vintage, higher rate, more actively traded commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) adjusted for the lower subordination level of the Company’s securities; and
iii.
dealer quotes on the Company’s securities for which there is not an active market.

NOTE 2 − SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (Continued)
Investment Securities Available-for-Sale – (Continued)
Unrealized gains and losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity.
On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates its investments for other-than-temporary impairment. An investment is impaired when its fair value has declined below its amortized cost basis. An impairment is considered other-than-temporary when the amortized cost basis of the investment value will not be recovered over its remaining life. Where credit quality is believed to be the cause of the other-than-temporary impairment, that component of the impairment is recognized as impairment in the statement of operations. Where other market components are believed to be the cause of the other-than-temporary impairment, that component of the impairment is recognized on the balance sheet as other comprehensive loss.
Investment securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Purchases of newly issued securities are recorded when all significant uncertainties regarding the characteristics of the securities are removed, generally shortly before settlement date. Realized gains and losses on investment securities are determined on the specific identification method.
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
The Company maintains an allowance for loan and lease losses. Loans and leases held for investment are first individually evaluated for impairment so specific reserves can be applied, and then evaluated for impairment as a homogeneous pool of loans with substantially similar characteristics so that a general reserve can be established, if needed. The reviews are performed at least quarterly.
The Company considers a loan to be impaired when, based on current information and events, management believes it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is impaired, the allowance for loan losses is increased by the amount of the excess of the amortized cost basis of the loan over its fair value. Fair value may be determined based on the present value of estimated cash flows; on market price, if available; or on the fair value of the collateral less estimated disposition costs. When a loan, or a portion thereof, is considered uncollectible and pursuit of collection is not warranted, then the Company will record a charge-off or write-down of the loan against the allowance for loan and lease losses.
The total balance of impaired loans and leases was $124.6 million and $23.9 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The balance of impaired loans and leases with a valuation allowance was $117.2 million at September 30, 2009. The balance of impaired loans without a specific valuation allowance $7.4 million at September 30, 2009. All loans and leases deemed impaired at December 31, 2008 have an associated valuation allowance. The specific valuation allowance related to these impaired loans and leases was $44.2 million and $19.6 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The average balance of impaired loans and leases was $116.8 million and $24.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company did not recognize any income on impaired loans and leases.
An impaired loan or lease may remain on accrual status during the period in which the Company is pursuing repayment of the loan or lease; however, the loan or lease would be placed on non-accrual status at such time as (i) management believes that scheduled debt service payments will not be met within the coming 12 months; (ii) the loan or lease becomes 90 days delinquent; (iii) management determines the borrower is incapable of, or has ceased efforts toward, curing the cause of the impairment; or (iv) the net realizable value of the loan’s underlying collateral approximates the Company’s carrying value of such loan. While on non-accrual status, the Company recognizes interest income only when an actual payment is received.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance for evaluating the fair value of liabilities. The guidance clarifies techniques for valuing liabilities in circumstances where a quoted price or a quoted price for an identical liability is not available. The provisions of this guidance were effective in the third quarter of 2009 and did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance that establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the single source of authoritative GAAP, other than guidance put forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All other accounting literature not included in the codification will be considered non-authoritative. The Company adopted this guidance in the third quarter of 2009. Adoption impacted the disclosures for references to accounting guidance by putting such disclosures into plain English.
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (“SFAS 167”). SFAS 167 amends FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46(R)”) and changes the consolidation guidance applicable to a VIE. It also amends the guidance governing the determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE and therefore, required to consolidate an entity, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. This standard also requires continuous reassessment of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. SFAS 167 also requires enhanced disclosures about an enterprise’s involvement with a VIE. SFAS 167 will be effective for interim and annual periods ending after November 15, 2009. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of adopting this statement.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 166 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an Amendment of FASB Statement 140” (SFAS “166”). SFAS 166 eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets and requires greater transparency of related disclosures. SFAS 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the issuance of the financial statements. The Company adopted this guidance in the second quarter of 2009. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The required disclosures upon adoption of this statement can be found in Note 15.
On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued guidance intended to provide additional application guidance and enhance disclosures regarding fair value measurements and impairments of securities. It provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the fair value measurement principles when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have decreased significantly. It also enhances consistency in financial reporting by increasing the frequency of fair value disclosures. Finally, it provides additional guidance designed to create greater clarity and consistency in accounting for and presenting impairment losses on securities. Provisions for this guidance are effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of 2009. Although adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements, additional disclosures were added in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued guidance that requires enhanced disclosures for derivative instruments, including those used in hedging activities. It is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 and is applicable to the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Although the adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements, additional disclosures were added in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements.
In February 2008, the FASB issued guidance which provides direction on accounting for a transfer of a financial asset and repurchase financing. The guidance addresses whether transactions where assets purchased from a particular counterparty and financed through a repurchased agreement with the same counterparty can be considered and accounted for as separate transactions, or should be required to be “linked” transactions and considered derivatives. Provisions of this guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The determination of other-than-temporary impairment is a subjective process, and different judgments and assumptions could affect the timing of loss realization. The Company reviews its portfolios monthly and the determination of other-than-temporary impairment is made at least quarterly. The Company considers the following factors when determining if there is an other-than-temporary impairment on a security:
●
the length of time the market value has been less than amortized cost;
●
the severity of the impairment;
●
the expected loss of the security as generated by third party software;
●
credit ratings from the rating agencies;
●
underlying credit fundamentals of the collateral backing the securities; and
●
the Company’s intent to sell as well as the likelihood that the Company will be required to sell the security before the recovery of the amortized cost basis.
At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company held $40.6 million and $29.2 million, respectively, net of net unrealized losses of $50.7 million and $41.2 million, respectively, of CMBS at fair value which is based on taking a weighted average of the following three measures:
i.
an income approach utilizing an appropriate current risk-adjusted yield, time value and projected estimated losses from default assumptions based on historical analysis of underlying loan performance;
ii.
quotes on similar-vintage, higher rated, more actively traded CMBS adjusted for the lower subordination level of our securities; and
iii.
dealer quotes on the Company’s securities for which there is not an active market.
While the Company’s CMBS investments have continued to decline in fair value, the decline continues to be temporary. The Company performs an on-going review of third-party reports and updated financial data on the underlying property financial information to analyze current and projected loan performance. All securities but two are current with respect to interest and principal payments, but these defaults are considered technical and therefore, the Company does not believe these securities are other-than temporarily impaired. Rating agency downgrades are considered with respect to the Company’s income approach when determining other-than-temporary impairment and when inputs are stressed, the resulting projected cash flows reflect a full recovery of principal.

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENT SECURITIES AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE – (Continued)
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, a collateral position that supported the other-ABS investment weakened to the point that default of that position became probable. The assumed default of this collateral position in the Company’s cash flow model yielded a value of less than full recovery of the Company’s cost basis and, as a result, the Company recognized a $5.6 million other-than-temporary impairment on its other-ABS investment as of March 31, 2009. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, an additional $45,000 of other-than-temporary impairment was recognized on this investment bringing the fair value to $0. As a result of the impairment charges, the cost of this security was written down to fair value through the statement of operations.
The Company does not believe that any other of its securities classified as available-for-sale were other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2009.

During the three months ended September 30, 2009, based on the cash flow analysis performed, a collateral position that supported the investments held-to-maturity became impaired as the Company’s cash flow model yielded a value of less than full recovery of the Company’s cost basis. As a result, the Company recognized an $895,000 other-than-temporary impairment on one of its investments held-to-maturity as of September 30, 2009. As a result of the impairment charges, the cost of this security was written down to fair value through the statement of operations.
The Company does not believe that any other of its investments classified as held-to-maturity were other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2009.

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had recorded an allowance for loan losses of $59.4 million consisting of a $31.0 million allowance on the Company’s bank loan portfolio and a $28.4 million allowance on the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio as a result of the Company classifying twelve bank loans and three commercial real estate as loans impaired as well as the result of the maintenance of a general reserve for each portfolio.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company had recorded an allowance for loan losses of $43.9 million consisting of a $28.8 million allowance on the Company’s bank loan portfolio and a $15.1 million allowance on the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio as a result of the Company classifying ten bank loans and one commercial real estate loan as impaired. The Company also established a general reserve on each of these portfolios.
NOTE 6 –DIRECT FINANCING LEASES AND NOTES
On June 30, 2009, the Company sold a membership interest in a subsidiary that primarily held a pool of leases valued at $89.8 million and transferred the $82.3 million balance of the related secured term facility to Resource America. No gain or loss was recognized on the sale. The Company received a note of $7.5 million from Resource America for the equity in the portfolio on June 30, 2009. The promissory note from the subsidiary bore interest at LIBOR plus 3%. On July 1, 2009, $4.5 million of the promissory note was repaid. The remaining outstanding principal balance of the note of $3.0 million was paid in full on August 3, 2009. The balance of direct financing leases and notes was $104.0 million as of December 31, 2008.
At September 30, 2009, the Company had three leases that were sufficiently delinquent with respect to scheduled payments of interest to require a provision for lease loss. As a result, the Company recorded an allowance for lease losses of $348,000. The Company also recorded a general reserve of $300,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2009 to bring the total general reserve to $900,000 at September 30, 2009.

In addition, premiums over new repurchase prices are required for early repurchase by RCC Real Estate SPE 3 of the Existing Assets that represent collateral under the facility; however, the premiums will reduce the repurchase price of the remaining Existing Assets.
●
RCC Real Estate SPE 3’s obligation to pay non-usage fees was terminated.
●
The weighted average undrawn balance (as defined in the agreement) threshold exempting payment of the non-usage fee was reduced from $75,000,000 to $56,250,000.

NOTE 13 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company follows the fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company determines fair value based on quoted prices when available or, if quoted prices are not available, through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. The hierarchy followed defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
- Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2
- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.
Level 3
- Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.
The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter; depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. However, the Company expects that changes in classifications between levels will be rare.
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The following is a discussion of these assets and liabilities as well as the valuation techniques applied to each for fair value measurement.

NOTE 13 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – (Continued)
Investment securities available-for-sale are valued by taking a weighted average of the following three measures:
i.
using an income approach and utilizing an appropriate current risk-adjusted, time value and projected estimated losses from default assumptions based upon underlying loan performance;
ii.
quotes on similar-vintage, higher rate, more actively traded CMBS securities adjusted for the lower subordinated level of the Company’s securities; and
iii.
dealer quotes on the Company’s securities for which there is not an active market.
Derivatives (interest rate swap contracts), both assets and liabilities, are valued by a third-party pricing agent using an income approach and utilizing models that use as their primary basis readily observable market parameters. This valuation process considers factors including interest rate yield curves, time value, credit factors and volatility factors.
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. The Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets (including derivatives that are presented net) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2009 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value.

The Company had $895,000 and $6.6 million of losses included in earnings due to the other-than-temporary impairment charge of two assets during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. These losses are included in the consolidated statement of operations as impairment.
Loans held for sale consist of bank loans identified for sale due to credit issues. Interest on loans held for sale is recognized according to the contractual terms of the loan and included in interest income on loans. The fair value of loans held for sale and impaired loans is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for these loans. As such, the Company classifies loans held for sale and impaired loans as recurring Level 2. The amount of the adjustment for fair value for loans held for sale for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $12.7 million and is included in the consolidated statement of operations as net realized and unrealized losses on loans and investments. For loans where there is no market, the loans are measured using cash flows and other valuation techniques
and these loans are classified as nonrecurring Level 3. The amount of nonrecurring fair value losses for impaired loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $25.6 million and are included in the consolidated statement of operations as provision for loan and lease loss.
The following table summarizes the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of September 30, 2009 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value.

NOTE 14 – INTEREST RATE RISK AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
At September 30, 2009, the Company had 13 interest rate swap contracts outstanding whereby the Company will pay an average fixed rate of 5.14% and receive a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR. The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $228.1 million at September 30, 2009. In addition, the Company also has one interest rate cap agreement with a notional amount of $14.8 million outstanding whereby it reduced its exposure to variability in future cash flows attributable to LIBOR. The interest rate cap is a non-designated cash flow hedge and, as a result, the change in fair value is recorded through the consolidated statement of operations.
At December 31, 2008, the Company had 31 interest rate swap contracts outstanding whereby the Company paid an average fixed rate of 5.07% and received a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR. The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $325.0 million at December 31, 2008.
The estimated fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps was ($15.7) million and ($31.6) million as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The Company had aggregate unrealized losses of $17.6 million and $33.8 million on the interest rate swap agreements as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, which is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. In connection with the August 2006 close of RREF CDO 2006-1, the Company realized a swap termination loss of $119,000, which is being amortized over the maturity of RREF CDO 2006-1. The amortization is reflected in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. In connection with the June 2007 close of RREF CDO 2007-1, the Company realized a swap termination gain of $2.6 million, which is being amortized over the maturity of RREF CDO 2007-1. The accretion is reflected in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. In connection with the termination of a $53.6 million swap related to RREF CDO 2006-1 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company realized a swap termination loss of $4.2 million, which is being amortized over the maturity of a new $45.0 million swap. The amortization is reflected in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. In connection with the payoff of a fixed-rate commercial real estate loan during the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company terminated a $12.7 million swap and realized a $574,000 swap termination loss, which is being amortized over the maturity of the terminated swap and the amortization is reflected in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Changes in interest rates may also have an effect on the rate of mortgage principal prepayments and, as a result, prepayments on MBS in the Company’s investment portfolio. The Company seeks to mitigate the effect of changes in the mortgage principal repayment rate by balancing assets purchased at a premium with assets purchased at a discount. At September 30, 2009, the aggregate discount exceeded the aggregate premium on the Company’s MBS by approximately $17.3 million. At December 31, 2008, the aggregate discount exceeded the aggregate premium on the Company’s MBS by approximately $3.7 million.
NOTE 15 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Form 10-Q on November 6, 2009, and determined that there have not been any events that have occurred that would require adjustments to or disclosures in the unaudited consolidated financial statements except for the following transaction:
●
The Company received $4.1 million in proceeds related to the issuance of 809,769 shares of common stock under the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan during October 2009.
●
In October 2009, the Company amended its unsecured junior subordinated debentures with a total value outstanding of $51.5 million. The amendment provides for an interest rate increase of 2% (from 3.95% plus LIBOR to 5.95% plus LIBOR) on both deals of a period of two years and a one-time restructuring fee of $250,000 in exchange for the waiver of the financial covenants. The interest rate adjustment takes effect as of October 1, 2009 and expires on September 30, 2011 and the covenant waiver expires on January 1, 2012.

We undertake no obligation to publicly revise or update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report, except as may be required under applicable law.
Overview
We are a specialty finance company that focuses primarily on commercial real estate and commercial finance. We are organized and conduct our operations to qualify as a REIT under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Our objective is to provide our stockholders with total returns over time, including quarterly distributions and capital appreciation, while seeking to manage the risks associated with our investment strategy. We invest in a combination of real estate-related assets and, to a lesser extent, higher-yielding commercial finance assets. We have financed a substantial portion of our portfolio investments through borrowing strategies seeking to match the maturities and repricing dates of our financings with the maturities and repricing dates of those investments, and have sought to mitigate interest rate risk through derivative instruments.
We are externally managed by Resource Capital Manager, Inc., which we refer to as the Manager, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Resource America, Inc. (NASDAQ: REXI), or Resource America, a specialized asset management company that uses industry specific expertise to generate and administer investment opportunities for its own account and for outside investors in the commercial finance, real estate, and financial fund management sectors. As of June 30, 2009, Resource America managed approximately $14.3 billion of assets in these sectors. To provide its services, the Manager draws upon Resource America, its management team and their collective investment experience.
We generate our income primarily from the spread between the revenues we receive from our assets and the cost to finance the purchase of those assets and hedge interest rate risks. We generate revenues from the interest we earn on our whole loans, A notes, B notes, mezzanine debt, commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, bank loans, payments on equipment leases and notes and other asset-backed securities, or ABS. Historically, we have used a substantial amount of leverage to enhance our returns and we have financed each of our different asset classes with different degrees of leverage. The cost of borrowings to finance our investments comprises a significant part of our expenses. Our net income depends on our ability to control these expenses relative to our revenue. In our bank loans, CMBS, equipment leases and notes and other ABS, we historically have used warehouse facilities as a short-term financing source and collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs, and, to a lesser extent, other term financing as a long-term financing source. In our commercial real estate loan portfolio, we historically have used repurchase agreements as a short-term financing source, and CDOs and, to a lesser extent, other term financing as a long-term financing source. Our other term financing has consisted of long-term match-funded financing provided through long-term bank financing and asset-backed financing programs, depending upon market conditions and credit availability.
Ongoing problems in real estate and credit markets continue to impact our operations, particularly our ability to generate capital and financing to execute our investment strategies. These problems have also affected a number of our commercial real estate borrowers and, with respect to 18 of our commercial real estate loans, caused us to enter into loan modifications. We have increased our provision for loan and lease losses to reflect the effect of these conditions on our borrowers and have recorded both temporary and other than temporary impairments in the market valuation of the CMBS and other ABS in our investment portfolio. While we believe we have appropriately valued the assets in our investment portfolio at September 30, 2009, we cannot assure you that further impairments will not occur or that our assets will otherwise not be adversely effected by market conditions.

The events occurring in the credit markets have impacted our financing and investing strategies and, as a result, our ability to originate new investments and to grow. The market for securities issued by new securitizations collateralized by assets similar to those in our investment portfolio has largely disappeared. Since our sponsorship in June 2007 of Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2007-1, or RREF CDO 2007-1, we have not sponsored any new securitizations and we do not expect to be able to sponsor new securitizations for the foreseeable future. Short-term financing through warehouse lines of credit and repurchase agreements has become largely unavailable and unreliable as increasing volatility in the valuation of assets similar to those we originate has increased the risk of margin calls. To reduce our exposure to margin calls or facility terminations, we have paid down repurchase agreement borrowings, by $17.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, which finance commercial real estate loans and other securities that we hold. We no longer have any outstanding short-term borrowings as a result of displacement in the credit markets. Because of rising interest rates year-to-date in 2009, we received proceeds from margin calls related to our interest rate derivatives of $2.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Credit market conditions and the recessionary economy have also resulted in an increasing number of loan modifications, particularly in our commercial real estate loans. Borrowers have experienced deterioration in the performance of the properties we have financed or delays in implementing their business plans. In order to assist our borrowers in effectuating their business plans, including the leasing and repositioning of the underlying assets, we have been willing to enter into loan modifications that would adapt our financing to their particular situations. The most common loan modifications have included term extensions and modest interest rate reductions through the lowering of London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, floors, offset by increased interest rate spreads over LIBOR. In exchange for the loan modifications, we have received partial principal pay-downs, new equity investment commitments in the properties from the borrowers or their principals, additional fees and other structural improvements and enhancements to the loans. In addition, in four of our loan modifications, we have reduced our future funding obligations by approximately $12.4 million in the aggregate to preserve our own liquidity. Since the beginning of 2008 through September 30, 2009, we have modified 18 commercial real estate, or CRE, loans. We expect that we may have more CRE loan modifications in the future.
Currently, we seek to manage our liquidity and originate new assets primarily through capital recycling as loan payoffs and paydowns occur and through existing capacities within our completed securitizations. The following is a summary of repayments we received during the nine months ended September 30, 2009:
●
$7.0 million of commercial real estate loans paid off;
●
$36.8 million of commercial real estate loans principal repayments;
●
$51.3 million of bank loan principal repayments; and
●
$82.4 million of bank loan sale proceeds.
As of September 30, 2009, we had $54,000 of outstanding repurchase agreements (including accrued interest) with pledged collateral of $3.9 million of CRE CDO notes which was reduced from $17.1 million of outstanding repurchase agreements (including accrued interest) with pledged collateral of $3.9 million CRE CDO notes and CRE loans of $35.8 million at December 31, 2008. On October 28, 2009, we paid-off the $54,000 of repurchase agreement debt.
We expect to continue to generate net investment income from our current investment portfolio and generate dividends for our shareholders.
As of September 30, 2009, we had invested 72% of our portfolio in commercial real estate-related assets 27% in commercial bank loans and 1% in direct financing leases and notes. As of December 31, 2008, we had invested 72% of our portfolio in commercial real estate-related assets 25% in commercial bank loans and 3% in direct financing leases and notes.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
In this section, we discuss our most critical accounting policies and estimates. For a complete discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see the discussion our annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2008 under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations − Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
We maintain an allowance for loan and lease losses. Loans and leases held for investment are first individually evaluated for impairment, and then evaluated as a homogeneous pool of loans with substantially similar characteristics for impairment. The reviews are performed at least quarterly.
(Back to Index)
29
(Back to Index)
We consider a loan to be impaired when, based on current information and events, management believes it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is impaired, the allowance for loan losses is increased by the amount of the excess of the amortized cost basis of the loan over its fair value. Fair value may be determined based the present value of estimated cash flows; on market price, if available; or on the fair value of the collateral less estimated disposition costs. When a loan, or a portion thereof, is considered uncollectible and pursuit of the collection is not warranted, we will record a charge-off or write-down of the loan against the allowance for credit losses.
The total balance of impaired loans and leases was $124.6 million and $23.9 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The balance of impaired loans and leases with a valuation allowance was $117.2 million at September 30, 2009. The balance of impaired loans without a specific valuation allowance was $7.4 million at September 30, 2009. All loans and leases deemed impaired at December 31, 2008 had an associated valuation allowance. The specific valuation allowance related to these impaired loans and leases was $44.2 million and $19.6 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The average balance of impaired loans and leases was $116.8 million and $24.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008, we did not recognize any income on impaired loans and leases.
An impaired loan or lease may remain on accrual status during the period in which we are pursuing repayment of the loan or lease; however, the loan or lease would be placed on non-accrual status at such time as either (i) management believes that scheduled debt service payments will not be met within the coming 12 months; (ii) the loan or lease becomes 90 days delinquent; (iii) management determines the borrower is incapable of, or has ceased efforts toward, curing the cause of the impairment; or (iv) the net realizable value of the loan’s underlying collateral approximates our carrying value of such loan. While on non-accrual status, we recognize interest income only when an actual payment is received.

Classifications and Valuation of Investment Securities
We follow the fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. We determined fair value based on quoted prices when available or, if quoted prices are not available through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. The hierarchy followed defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
- Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2
- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.
Level 3
- Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.
The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment. We evaluate our hierarchy disclosures each quarter; depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. However, we expect that changes in classifications between levels will be rare.
(Back to Index)

(Back to Index)
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The following is a discussion of these assets and liabilities as well as the valuation techniques applied to each for fair value measurement.
Investment securities available-for-sale are valued by taking a weighted average of the following three measures:
i.
using an income approach and utilizing an appropriate current risk-adjusted, time value and projected estimated losses from default assumptions based upon underlying loan performance;
ii.
quotes on similar-vintage, higher rate, more actively traded CMBS securities adjusted for the lower subordinated level of our securities; and
iii.
dealer quotes on our securities for which there is not an active market.
Derivatives (interest rate swap contracts), both assets and liabilities, are valued by a third-party pricing agent using an income approach and utilizing models that use as their primary basis readily observable market parameters. This valuation process considers factors including interest rate yield curves, time value, credit factors and volatility factors.
Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives use Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. We have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following table presents information about our assets (including derivatives that are presented on a net basis) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2009 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by us to determine such fair value.

We had $895,000 and $6.6 million of asset impairments recognized in our consolidated statement of operations related to other-than-temporary impairments on two securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.
Loans held for sale consist of bank loans identified for sale due to credit issues. Interest on loans held for sale is recognized according to the contractual terms of the loan and included in interest income on loans. The fair value of loans held for sale and impaired loans is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for these loans. As such, we classify loans held for sale and impaired loans as recurring Level 2. The amount of the adjustment for fair value for loans held for sale for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $12.7 million and is included in the consolidated statement of operations as net realized and unrealized losses on loans and investments. For loans where there is no market, the loans are measured third-party using cash flows and other valuation techniques
and these loans are classified as nonrecurring Level 3. The amount of nonrecurring fair value losses for impaired loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $25.6 million and are included in the consolidated statement of operations as provision for loan and lease losses.

Results of Operations −
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 as compared to
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008
Our net income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $11.5 million, or $0.48 per share-basic ($0.47 per share-diluted) and our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $5.8 million, or ($0.24) per share (basic and diluted) as compared to net income of $88,000 or $0.00 per share (basic and diluted), and $4.2 million, or $0.17 per share (basic and diluted) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.
To a large extent, the increase in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008 is primarily due to a gain on the extinguishment of debt of $12.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Represents cash received from Ischus CDO II in excess of our investment balance. We sold our interest in Ischus CDO II in November 2008 and, as a result, deconsolidated it at that time. Income on this investment was recognized using the cost recovery method.
Interest income decreased $9.8 million (30%) and $27.2 million (27%) to $22.5 million and $74.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, from $32.3 million and $101.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. We attribute this decrease to the following:
Interest Income from Loans
Aggregate interest income from bank and commercial real estate loans decreased $8.4 million (29%) and $24.6 million (28%) to $20.2 million and $64.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, from $28.6 million and $88.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.
Bank loans generated $8.4 million and $25.9 million of interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, as compared to $12.3 million and $40.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, decreases of $3.8 million (31%) and $14.4 million (36%), respectively. These decreases resulted primarily from a decrease in the weighted average rate to 3.64% and 3.77% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, from 5.19% and 5.66% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, primarily as a result of the decrease in LIBOR which is a reference index for the rates payable by these loans.
These decreases in LIBOR were partially offset by an increase in accretion income as a result of the purchase of assets at bigger discounts during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Commercial real estate loans produced $11.8 million and $38.5 million of interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, as compared to $16.3 million and $48.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, decreases of $4.6 million (28%) and $10.2 million (21%), respectively. These decreases are the result of the following:
●
a decrease in the weighted average balance of $61.2 million and $57.3 million on our commercial real estate loans to $783.9 million and $792.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, from $845.0 million and $849.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, primarily as a result of payoffs and paydowns and to a lesser extent as a result of write-offs taken on several loans; and
●
a decrease in the weighted average interest rate to 5.95% and 6.39% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, from 7.34% and 7.31% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, primarily as a result of the decrease in LIBOR which is a reference index for the rates payable by these loans and to a lesser extent as a result of modifications to lower the LIBOR floor on several loans. For a further discussion of commercial real estate loan modifications, see "-Overview," above.
Interest Income from Securities
Aggregate interest income from securities (CMBS-private placement, securities held-to-maturity and other ABS) increased $519,000 (37%) and $130,000 (3%) to $1.9 million and $4.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively from $1.4 million and $4.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.
Interest income from CMBS-private placement increased to $1.5 million (42%) for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and decreased $108,000 (3%) to $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $1.1 million and $3.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.
The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2009 resulted primarily from the following:
●
an increase in the weighted average rate to 6.25% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from 5.68% for the three months ended September 30, 2008, primarily as a result of the increase of $335,000 in the accretion of discounts to $447,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $112,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as a result of new positions purchased at large discounts to par during the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in accretion was partially offset by a decrease in LIBOR which is a reference index for the rates payable on some of these securities; and
●
an increase of the weighted average balance on these securities of $21.1 million to $95.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $74.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, as a result of the purchase of $34.5 million par of CMBS-private placement positions during the three months ended September 30, 2009.
The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 resulted primarily from the following:
●
a decrease in the weighted average rate to 5.32% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, from 5.50% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, primarily as a result of the decrease in LIBOR which is a reference index for the rates payable by these loans. This decrease in rate was partially offset by an increase in accretion of discounts to $667,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $334,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as a result of new positions purchased at large discounts during the three months ended September 30, 2009.
The decrease in weighted average rate was partially offset by an increase of the weighted average balance on these securities of $4.4 million to $81.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, from $76.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, as a result of the purchase of $34.5 million par of CMBS-private placement positions during the three months ended September 30, 2009.
Interest income from other ABS decreased $19,000 to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $19,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as a result of the default of a collateral position which has not paid interest since the three months ended March 31, 2008. We do not expect to receive interest from this other ABS, which has been recognized as an other-than-temporary impairment, for the foreseeable future.

(Back to Index)
Interest income from securities held-to-maturity increased $72,000 (22%) and $257,000 (22%) to $397,000 and $1.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively from $325,000 and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. These increases are primarily from an increase in the weighted average balance on these securities of $7.0 million and $7.0 million to $34.3 million and $32.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, from $27.2 million and $25.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, as a result of the purchase of $34.5 million par of CMBS-private placement positions during the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increases in weighed average balance were partially offset by decreases in the weighted average rate to 4.84% and 5.68% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, from 5.00% and 6.22% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, primarily as a result of the decrease in LIBOR which is a reference index for the rates payable by some of these securities.
Interest Income from Leasing
Interest income from leasing generated $11,000 and $4.3 million of interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively as compared to $2.0 million and $5.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, decreases of $2.0 million (99%) and $1.6 (27%), respectively. These decreases are primarily the result of the sale of a majority of the leasing portfolio, at par, as of June 30, 2009.
Interest Income − Other
Interest income-other decreased $1.1 million (52%) from $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, to $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease for the nine months ended is primarily the result of a decrease in interest income from our equity method investment in Ischus CDO II. We used the cost recovery method to recognize the income on this investment. We sold our interest in Ischus CDO II in November 2007 and, as a result, deconsolidated it at that time. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, $997,000 of interest income was recognized on this investment. No such income has been recognized since March 31, 2008. In addition, the balance of the decrease for the nine months ended is the result of decreases in our temporary investment income due to lower rates earned on our over-night repurchase agreements.

Interest expense decreased $9.5 million (51%) and $24.9 million (41%) to $9.2 million and $35.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, from $18.7 million and $60.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. We attribute these decreases to the following:
Interest expense on bank loans was $3.1 million and $13.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, as compared to $8.0 million and $27.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, decreases of $4.9 million (61%) and $14.1 million (52%), respectively. These decreases resulted from a decrease in the weighted average rate on the debt related to bank loans which decreased to 1.35% and 1.90% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, from 3.46% and 4.02%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, due to a decrease in LIBOR which is a reference index for most of the rates payable on this debt.
Interest expense on commercial real estate loans was $2.5 million and $7.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, as compared to $6.6 million and $21.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, decreases of $4.1 million (63%) and $14.0 million (64%). These decreases resulted primarily from the following:
●
a decrease in the weighted average interest rate to 1.46% and 1.52% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, as compared to 3.68% and 4.21% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, primarily as a result of a decrease in LIBOR which is a reference index for most of the rates payable on this debt; and
●
a decrease of $51.3 million and $42.3 million in the weighted average balance of debt to $645.9 million and $657.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, from $697.2 million and $700.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, primarily related to the paying down of our repurchase facilities as well as the repurchase of our own CDO debt.
Interest expense on CMBS-private placement was $39,000 and $126,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. There was no such interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease is due to the elimination of advance rates on our pledged CMBS-private placement collateral in November 2008 as a result of policy changes surrounding advance rates at our lender.
Interest expense on leasing activities was $0 and $2.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, as compared to $884,000 and $3.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, decreases of $884,000 (100%) and $957,000 (31%) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. These decreases are primarily the result of the sale of a majority of the leasing portfolio and the simultaneous transfer of all of the related debt to Resource America who purchased the leases, at par, as of June 30, 2009.
General interest expense was $3.6 million and $13.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, as compared to $3.2 million and $8.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, increases of $468,000 (15%) and $4.2 million (48%), respectively. These increases resulted primarily from an increase of $742,000 and $4.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, on our interest rate derivatives that fix the rate we pay under these agreements. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the fixed rate we paid exceeded the floating rate we received due to a decrease in LIBOR. The increase in derivative expense was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $287,000 and $842,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, related to our unsecured junior subordinated debentures held by unconsolidated trusts that issued trust preferred securities as a result of a decrease in LIBOR which is a reference index for the rates payable by these debentures.

Management fee–related party increased $2.0 million (106%) and $1.1 million (22%) to $4.0 and $5.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, as compared to $1.9 million and $4.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. These amounts represent compensation in the form of base management fees and incentive management fees pursuant to our management agreement. Incentive management fees increased by $2.3 million (285%) and $1.7 million (125%) to $3.1 million and $3.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively from $799,000 and $1.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. The increase is the result of a considerable fee of $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 primarily as a result of the gain on extinguishment of debt during the three months ended September 30, 2009. The base management fees decreased by $238,000 (21%) and $653,000 (19%) to $877,000 and $2.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, as compared to $1.1 million and $3.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. This decrease was due to our decreased stockholders’ equity, a component in the formula by which base management fees are calculated, primarily as a result of significant additional provisions for loan and lease losses during 2009.
Equity compensation expense increased $564,000 (359%) and $295,000 (38%) to $721,000 and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, from $157,000 and $779,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. These expenses relate to the amortization of annual grants of restricted common stock to our non-employee independent directors, and annual and discretionary grants of restricted stock to several employees of Resource America who provide investment management services to us through our Manager. The increase in expense was primarily the result of the increase of our stock price and its impact on our quarterly remeasurement of unvested stock and options. In addition, this increase was also the result of the issuance of several new restricted stock grants during 2009.
Professional services decreased $34,000 (4%) and increased $563,000 (25%) to $739,000 and $2.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, as compared to $773,000 and $2.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily the result of increases in legal fees of $605,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily related to collections on our leasing portfolio and work on our CRE loan modifications.
Income tax expense increased $39,000 (118%) and decreased $129,000 (96%) to expenses of $6,000 and $5,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, from a benefit of $33,000 and expense of $134,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. The decrease in expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 is the result of an establishment of a valuation allowance against our ability to utilize net operating loss carryfowards due to the disposition of assets held by our TRS during the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Net realized and unrealized (losses) gains on loans and and investments increased $1.8 million (727%) and $10.2 million (615%) to losses of $1.5 million and $11.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, as compared to a gain of $242,000 and a loss of $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. The primary reason for the increased losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 is the result of $1.6 million and $12.7 million in trading losses on loans held for sale for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. The loans were sold as a result of credit issues. There were no such losses for the three months ended September 30, 2008. This was partially offset for the nine months ended by a realized loss of $2.0 million as a result of the loss on the sale of one CMBS position. There was no such loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Other income (expense) increased $1.4 million (5,348%) and $1.5 million (1,699%) to expenses $1.4 million and $1.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, as compared to income of $27,000 and $86,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. These increases were due to a charge of $1.4 million that was the result of an accrual for a liability related to a settlement on our equity position in the Ischus II portfolio.
Our provision for loan and lease losses decreased $6.4 million (58%) and increased $4.8 million (17%) to $4.6 million and $32.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, as compared to $11.0 million and $27.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. The provisions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 consisted of a credit of $247,000 and expense of $12.9 million of provisions for loan loss on our bank loan portfolio, respectively, $4.2 million and $18.3 million of provisions for loan loss on our commercial real estate portfolio, respectively, and $638,000 and $1.4 million of provisions on our direct financing leases and notes, respectively. Our provision for loan and lease losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 consisted of $8.0 million and $12.9 million of provisions for loan loss on our bank loan portfolio, respectively, $2.8 million and $14.4 million of provisions for loan loss on our commercial real estate portfolio, respectively, and $237,000 and $435,000 of provision on our leasing portfolio, respectively. The principal reason for the increase in the provision for loan and lease losses was our recognition of specific reserves on additional defaulted bank loans and defaulted CRE loans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Gain on the extinguishment of debt increased $12.7 million and $17.8 million (1,022%) to $12.7 million and $19.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, from $0 and $1.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. Gain on extinguishment of debt for the three and nine months ended is due to the buyback of $14.5 million of debt issued by RREF 2006-1 The notes, issued at par, were bought back in September 2009 as an investment by us at a price of 12%, resulting in a gain of $12.7 million. The gain on the extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was due to the September 2009 buyback as well as the buyback of $7.5 million of debt issued by RREF 2006-1. The notes, issued at par, were bought back in June 2009 as an investment by us at a price of 8% resulting in a gain of $6.9 million. Gain on the extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 is due to the buyback of $5.0 million of debt issued by RREF 2007-1. The notes, issued at par, were bought back in March 2008 as an investment by us at a price of 65% resulting in a gain of $1.8 million. The related deferred debt issuance costs were immaterial in all transactions.
Gain on the settlement of a loan during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 is due to the reimbursement of a loss related to the termination of a hedge after the paydown of a commercial real estate loan. Per the terms of the agreement, we were to be reimbursed for any such termination costs. There was no such transaction during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities-Private Placement.
The determination of other-than-temporary impairment is a subjective process, and different judgments and assumptions could affect the timing of loss realization. We review our portfolios monthly and the determination of other-than-temporary impairment is made at least quarterly. We consider the following factors when determining if there is an other-than-temporary impairment on a security:
●
the length of time the market value has been less than amortized cost;
●
the severity of the impairment;
●
the expected loss of the security as generated by third party software;
●
credit ratings from the rating agencies; and
●
underlying credit fundamentals of the collateral backing the securities; and
●
our intent to sell as well as the likelihood that we will be required to sell the security before the recovery of the amortized cost basis.
At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we held $40.6 million and $29.2 million, respectively, net of unrealized gains of $3.3 million and $0, respectively, and net of unrealized losses of $54.0 million and $41.2 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, of CMBS private placement, or CMBS, at fair value which is based on taking a weighted average of the following three measures:
i.
an income approach utilizing an appropriate current risk-adjusted yield, time value and projected estimated losses from default assumptions based on historical analysis of underlying loan performance;
ii.
quotes on similar-vintage, higher rated, more actively traded CMBS securities adjusted for the lower subordination level of our securities; and
iii.
dealer quotes on our securities for which there is not an active market.
While the CMBS investments have continued to decline in fair value, their change continues to be temporary. We perform an on-going review of third-party reports and updated financial data on the underlying property financial information to analyze current and projected loan performance. Rating agency downgrades are considered with respect to our income approach when determining other-than-temporary impairment and when inputs are stressed projected cash flows are adequate to recover principal.
The following table summarizes our CMBS-private placement as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 (in thousands, except percentages). Dollar price is computed by dividing amortized cost by par amount.

Other Asset-Backed Securities.
At September 30, 2009, we held one other ABS position with a fair value of $0 that is the result of other-than-temporary impairment of $5.7 million recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. At December 31, 2008, we held $45,000 of other ABS at fair value, which was net of unrealized losses of $5.6 million. This security is classified as available-for-sale and, as a result, is carried at its fair value.

All of the $11.7 million of CMBS maturing in these categories are collateralized by floating-rate loans and are expected to extend for up to a minimum of two additional years as the loans in the floating-rate structures have a contractual right to extend with options ranging from two one-year options to three one-year options.
While our CMBS investments have continued to decline in fair value, the decline continues to be temporary. We perform an on-going review of third-party reports and updated financial data on the underlying property financial information to analyze current and projected loan performance. All securities but two are current with respect to interest and principal payments, but these defaults are considered technical and therefore, we do not believe these securities are other-than temporarily impaired. Rating agency downgrades are considered with respect to our income approach when determining other-than-temporary impairment and when inputs are stressed, the resulting projected cash flows reflect a full recovery of principal.

Bank Loans.
At September 30, 2009, we held a total of $781.3 million of bank loans at fair value through Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco CDO, all of which secure the debt issued by these entities. This is an increase of $203.7 million over our holdings at December 31, 2008. The increase in total bank loans was principally due to improved market prices for bank loans during the first nine months of 2009. We own 100% of the equity issued by Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco CDO which we have determined are VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary. As a result, we consolidated Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco CDO as of September 30, 2009.

Asset-backed securities held-to-maturity.
At September 30, 2009, we held a total of $16.8 million of asset-backed securities held-to-maturity at fair value through Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco CDO, all of which secure the debt issued by these entities. This is an increase of $12.0 million over our holdings at December 31, 2008. The increase in total asset-backed securities held-to-maturity was principally due to the purchase of $6.9 million par of asset-backed securities held-to-maturity as well as improved market prices for these securities during the first nine months of 2009.
The following table summarizes our asset-backed securities held-to-maturity as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 (in thousands, except percentages). Dollar price is computed by dividing amortized cost by par amount.

Equipment Leases and Notes.
On June 30, 2009, we sold a membership interest in our subsidiary that primarily held a pool of leases valued at $89.8 million and transferred the $82.3 million balance of the related secured term facility to Resource America. No gain or loss was recognized on the sale. We received a note of $7.5 million from Resource America for the equity in the portfolio on June 30, 2009. The promissory note from the subsidiary bore interest at LIBOR plus 3% and matured on September 30, 2009. On July 1, 2009, $4.5 million of the promissory note was repaid. The remaining outstanding principal balance of the note of $3.0 million was paid in full on August 3, 2009.
Interest Receivable.
At September 30, 2009, we had accrued interest receivable of $6.2 million, which consisted of $6.1 million of interest on our securities loans and equipment leases and notes, and $161,000 of interest earned on escrow and sweep accounts. At December 31, 2008, we had interest receivable of $8.4 million, which consisted of $8.4 million of interest on our securities, loan and equipment leases and loans and $49,000 of interest earned on escrow and sweep accounts. The decrease of $2.2 million on our bank loan portfolio was primarily due to a decrease in LIBOR, a reference index for the rates payable on these assets and due to the sale of a majority of our leasing portfolio on June 30, 2009.
Other Assets.
Other assets at September 30, 2009 of $2.9 million consisted primarily of $1.5 million of loan origination costs associated with our commercial real estate loan portfolio and trust preferred securities issuances, $416,000 of prepaid director’s and officer’s liability insurance, $508,000 of prepaid expenses, $132,000 of principal paydown receivables on our Apidos portfolio and $322,000 of deferred tax assets. Other assets at December 31, 2008 of $5.0 million consisted primarily of $2.7 million of loan origination costs associated with our trust preferred securities issuances, commercial real estate loan portfolio and secured term facility, $125,000 of prepaid directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, $764,000 of prepaid expenses, $424,000 of lease payment receivables, $950,000 of principal paydown receivables on our Apidos portfolio and $60,000 of other receivables. The decrease of $2.1 million in other assets was primarily due to a decrease in loan origination costs related to the sale of our secured term facility in June 2009 and the recognition of $784,000 of unamortized costs, a decrease in principal receivable of $818,000 due to decreases in our commercial real estate, bank loan and lease portfolio all of which were subsequently collected, offset by an increase in deferred assets of $322,000 related to losses of our leasing portfolio.
Hedging Instruments
Our hedges at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, were fixed-for-floating interest rate swap agreements whereby we swapped the floating rate of interest on the liabilities we hedged for a fixed rate of interest. As of December 31, 2008, we had entered into hedges with a notional amount of $325.0 million and maturities ranging from May 2009 to November 2017. We intend to continue to seek such hedges for our floating rate debt in the future. Our hedges at September 30, 2009 were as follows (in thousands):

In addition, we also had an interest rate cap agreement with a notional value of $14.8 million outstanding which reduced our exposure to variability in future cash flows attributable to LIBOR. The interest rate cap is a non-designated cash flow hedge and, as a result, the change in fair value is recorded through our consolidated statement of operations.
Repurchase Agreements
We have entered into repurchase agreements to finance our commercial real estate loans and CMBS-private placement portfolio. These agreements are secured by the financed assets and bear interest rates that have historically moved in close relationship to LIBOR. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we had established nine borrowing arrangements with various financial institutions and had utilized two of these arrangements, principally our arrangement with Natixis. Because any repurchase transaction must be approved by the lender, and as a result of current market conditions, we do not anticipate further use of these facilities for the foreseeable future; however, the facilities remain available for use if market conditions improve.

Stockholders’ Equity
Stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2009 was $169.4 million and included $50.7 million of net unrealized losses on our available-for-sale portfolio, and $17.6 million of unrealized losses on cash flow hedges, shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2008 was $186.3 million and included $46.9 million of unrealized losses on our available-for-sale portfolio and $33.8 million of unrealized losses on cash flow hedges, shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The decrease in stockholder’s equity during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was principally due to the decrease in the market value of our available-for-sale securities offset by an increase in the value of our cash flow hedges.
Fluctuations in market values of assets in our available-for-sale portfolio that have not been other-than-temporarily impaired, do not impact our income determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, or our taxable income, but rather are reflected on our consolidated balance sheets by changing the carrying value of the asset and stockholders’ equity under ‘‘Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.”
Estimated REIT Taxable Income
The following section corrects and replaces our discussion of REIT taxable income set forth in our third quarter 2009 press release filed on November 2, 2009, which was furnished as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 3, 2009.
We calculate estimated REIT taxable income, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, according to the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The following table reconciles net income (loss) to estimated REIT taxable income for the periods presented (in thousands):

U.S. shareholders of controlled foreign corporations are required to include their share of such corporations’ income on a current basis, however, losses sustained by such corporations do not offset income of their U.S. shareholders on a current basis.
We believe that a presentation of estimated REIT taxable income provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations as we use this measurement to determine the amount of tax purposes. Since we, as a REIT, expect to make distributions based on taxable earnings, we expect that our distributions may at times be more or less than our reported GAAP earnings. Total taxable income is the aggregate amount of taxable income generated by us and by our domestic and foreign taxable REIT subsidiaries. Estimated REIT taxable income excludes the undistributed taxable income of our domestic TRS, if any such income exists, which is not included in REIT taxable income until distributed to us. There is no requirement that our domestic TRS distribute its earnings to us. Estimated REIT taxable income, however, includes the taxable income of our foreign TRSs because we will generally be required to recognize and report their taxable income on a current basis. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of estimated REIT taxable income may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Sources
Currently, we seek to manage our liquidity and originate new assets primarily through capital recycling as loan payoffs and paydowns occur and through existing capacities within our completed securitizations. The following is a summary of repayments we received during the nine months ended September 30, 2009:
●
$7.0 million of commercial real estate loans paid off;
●
$36.8 million of commercial real estate loans principal repayments;
●
$51.3 million of bank loan principal repayments; and
●
$82.4 million of bank loan sale proceeds.
Liquidity
Our liquidity needs consist principally of capital needed to make investments, make distributions to our stockholders, pay our operating expenses, including management fees and our approved share repurchase plan. Our ability to meet our liquidity needs is subject to our ability to generate cash from operations, and, with respect to our investments, our ability to obtain debt financing and equity capital. The availability of equity and debt financing depends on economic conditions which, as discussed in “Overview”, currently make equity or debt financing difficult to obtain on acceptable terms or at all. As a result, we currently focus on managing our existing portfolio and, as described in “Capital Sources,” above, reinvesting the proceeds of loan repayments or investment sales. Investors should be aware that if we are unable to renew or replace our existing financing on substantially similar terms, we may be required to liquidate portfolio investments. If required, a sale of portfolio investments could be at prices lower than the carrying value of such investments, which could result in losses and reduced income.
In October 2009, we amended our unsecured junior subordinated debentures with a total value outstanding of $51.5 million. The amendment provides for an interest rate increase of 2% (from 3.95% plus LIBOR and 5.95% plus LIBOR) on both deals for a period of two years and a one-time restructuring fee of $250,000 in exchange for a waiver of the financial covenants. The interest rate adjustment takes effect on October 1, 2009 and expires on September 30, 2011 and the covenant waiver expires on January 1, 2012. The additional cost is approximately $280,000 per quarter.
At October 30, 2009, after paying the third quarter dividend, RCC’s liquidity of $77.5 million consists of two primary sources:
●
unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $12.6 million and restricted cash of $5.4 million in margin call accounts;
●
capital available for reinvestment in its five collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) entities of $59.5 million, of which $3.0 million is designated to finance future funding commitments on CRE loans.
Our leverage ratio may vary as a result of the various funding strategies we use. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, our leverage ratio was 9.2 times and 9.1 times, respectively. This increase in leverage was primarily due to the decrease in fair market value adjustments that are recorded in the statement of stockholders equity through accumulated other comprehensive loss on available-for-sale securities and derivatives that were partially offset by the repayment of repurchase agreements.
Distributions
In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT and to avoid corporate-level income tax on the income we distribute to our stockholders, we intend to make regular quarterly distributions of all or substantially all of our net taxable income to holders of our common stock. This requirement can impact our liquidity and capital resources. On September 17, 2009, we declared a quarterly distribution of $0.30 per share of common stock, $7.5 million in the aggregate, which was paid on October 27, 2009 to stockholders of record as of September 30, 2009.

Our 2009 dividends will be determined by our board which will also consider the composition of any common dividends declared, including the option of paying a portion in cash and the balance in additional common shares. Generally, dividends payable in stock are not treated as dividends for purposes of the deduction for dividends, or as taxable dividends to the recipient. The Internal Revenue Service, in Revenue Procedure 2009-15, has given guidance with respect to certain stock distributions by publicly traded REITs. That Revenue Procedure applies to distributions made on or after January 1, 2008 and declared with respect to a taxable year ending on or before December 31, 2009. It provides that publicly-traded REITs can distribute stock (common shares in our case) to satisfy their REIT distribution requirements if stated conditions are met. These conditions include that at least 10% of the aggregate declared distributions be paid in cash and the shareholders be permitted to elect whether to receive cash or stock, subject to the limit set by the REIT on the cash to be distributed in the aggregate to all shareholders. We did not use this Revenue Procedure with respect to any distributions for our 2008 taxable year, but we may do so for distributions with respect to our 2009 taxable year.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
The table below summarizes our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2009. The table below excludes contractual commitments related to our derivatives, which we discuss in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2008 in Item 7A − “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” and in “Financial Condition − Hedging Instruments,” above and incentive fees payable under the Management Agreement that we have with our Manager, which we discuss in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2008 in Item 1 − “Business” and Item 13, “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”
because those obligations do not have fixed and determinable payments.

Contractual commitments do not include $7.1 million, $10.9 million, $9.0 million, $11.9 million and $28.6 million of interest expense payable through the non-call dates of July 2010, May 2011, June 2011, August 2011 and June 2012, respectively, on Apidos CDO I, Apidos Cinco CDO, Apidos CDO III, RREF 2006-1 and RREF 2007-1. A non-call date represents the earliest period under which the CDO assets can be sold, resulting in repayment of the CDO notes.
(2)
Contractual commitments do not include $5.5 million and $6.7 million of interest expense payable through the non-call dates of June 2011 and October 2011, respectively, on our junior subordinated debentures issued in connection with the trust preferred securities issuances of Resource Capital Trust I and RCC Trust II in May 2006 and September 2006, respectively.
(3)
Calculated only for the next 12 months based on our current equity, as defined in our Management Agreement.
At September 30, 2009, we had 13 interest rate swap contracts with a notional value of $228.1 million. These contracts are fixed-for-floating interest rate swap agreements under which we contracted to pay a fixed rate of interest for the term of the hedge and will receive a floating rate of interest. As of September 30, 2009, the average fixed pay rate of our interest rate hedges was 5.14% and our receive rate was one-month LIBOR, or 0.25%. In addition, we also had an interest rate cap agreement with a notional amount of $14.8 million outstanding which reduced our exposure to variability in future cash flows attributable to LIBOR. The interest rate cap is a non-designated cash flow hedge and, as a result, the change in fair value is recorded through our consolidated statement of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2009, we did not maintain any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance vehicles, special purpose entities or VIEs, established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. Further, as of September 30, 2009, we had not guaranteed any obligations of unconsolidated entities, nor had we entered into any commitment or had any intent to provide additional funding to any such entities.
46
We have certain unfunded commitments related to our commercial real estate loan portfolio that we may be required to fund in the future. Our unfunded commitments generally fall into two categories: (1) pre-approved capital improvement projects; and (2) new or additional construction costs subject, in each case, to the borrower meeting specified criteria. Upon completion of the improvements or construction, we would receive additional loan interest income on the advanced amount. As of September 30, 2009, we had 6 loans with unfunded commitments totaling $10.6 million, of which $3.0 million will be funded by restricted cash in RREF CDO 2007-1.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As of September 30, 2009, the primary component of our market risk was interest rate risk, as described below. While we do not seek to avoid risk completely, we do seek to assume risk that can be quantified from historical experience, to actively manage that risk, to earn sufficient compensation to justify assuming that risk and to maintain capital levels consistent with the risk we undertake or to which we are exposed.
The following sensitivity analysis tables show, at September 30, 2009, the estimated impact on the fair value of our interest rate-sensitive investments and liabilities of changes in interest rates, assuming rates instantaneously fall 100 basis points or rise 100 basis points (dollars in thousands):

Includes the fair value of other available-for-sale investments that are sensitive to interest rate changes.
For purposes of the tables, we have excluded our investments with variable interest rates that are indexed to LIBOR. Because the rate resets on these instruments are short-term in nature, we are not subject to material exposure to movements in fair value as a result of changes in interest rates.
It is important to note that the impact of changing interest rates on fair value can change significantly when interest rates change beyond 100 basis points from current levels. Therefore, the volatility in the fair value of our assets could increase significantly when interest rates change beyond 100 basis points from current levels. In addition, other factors impact the fair value of our interest rate-sensitive investments and hedging instruments, such as the shape of the yield curve, market expectations as to future interest rate changes and other market conditions. Accordingly, actual changes in interest rates, may result in changes in the fair value of our assets that would likely differ from those shown above, and such differences might be material and adverse to our stockholders.
ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934 reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
